You may have noticed I replaced the old Femulate logo with a new Stana’s Way logo.
Why?
When I started this blog in February 2007, I considered myself to be a “plain vanilla crossdresser,” so I created the word “femulate” to reflect my persona (a male emulating a female) and name my blog.
A lot of water has gone under the bridge since 2007 and I jettisoned the “plain vanilla crossdresser” descriptor long ago. Rather than being a male emulating a female, I realized that I was a female emulating a male. And doing a bad job of it – not because I wasn’t trying to “man up,” but because manning-up was so foreign to me.
I could have changed the name of the blog long ago, but I hesitated because the word “femulate” that I invented had become part of our language and I was proud of that fact. However, after exchanging emails with Ciara, I decided that the name change was a long time coming and “Stana’s Way” better reflected me than “Femulate.”
I am certainly not a male according to society’s standards. I am also not a cisgender female. However, I am a woman with a male body and I am not going to let that little handicap prevent me from being the best woman I can be. That’s my way.
By the way, I am not abandoning “femulate;” the blog URL remains www.femulate.org and posts about femulating will keep on coming full speed ahead.
And so it goes.
